How Image Dehaze works
Reduce fog and atmospheric haze in photos with AI. Choose an indoor or outdoor mode, adjust the treatment, then compare contrast and color.
Dehazing targets atmospheric haze and low scene contrast rather than camera shake. Choose a mode suited to an indoor or outdoor image and begin with a restrained treatment. Compare distant objects, sky color and shadow detail. Stronger processing can exaggerate noise or shift color, particularly in compressed or unevenly exposed files.
Use outdoor mode for travel, nature, and city haze; indoor mode for smoke, steam, or low-contrast rooms. Standard strength keeps a natural look; strong is for heavy fog. After processing finishes, drag the slider, download the file, or send the still into the video workspace if you need motion next.
Why Use This Image Dehaze Workspace
Restore travel and landscape frames
Fog and marine layer flatten distant mountains, coastlines, and city skylines. A dedicated pass lifts that veil so ridges, water, and buildings read again without turning the foreground into a cartoon.
Match outdoor or indoor haze
Outdoor mode is tuned for atmospheric haze in nature and streets. Indoor mode targets smoke, steam, and dull interior contrast so you are not forcing a landscape model onto a kitchen or studio shot.
Judge the result before and after
The preview slider is the same control used in the example below. Check edges, color, and sky before you download so you know whether standard or strong strength was the better call.
Stay in the browser — no install
Run haze removal from a desktop or phone browser. Supported files are JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 20 MB. Credit cost is shown on the button before you generate.
How to Use the Online Image Dehaze Tool
Three steps on this page: upload, choose scene and strength, then compare and save. You do not leave this URL to finish the job.
Upload your hazy photo
Drag a file onto the drop zone or click to browse. Use the foggy forest sample if you want to try the model before using your own travel shot.
Choose scene and strength
Pick Outdoor or Indoor, then Standard for a natural lift or Strong for heavy fog. Those two choices steer how aggressive the haze-removal pass will be.
Compare and download
Processing time varies with the image and queue. Compare contrast, colors and shadow detail before downloading.
What You Get from This Image Dehaze Tool
Focused local edits
Upload, generate, inspect, and save without a separate marketing page. Visitors and crawlers see the editor next to the explanation.
Scene-aware haze removal
Outdoor and indoor modes keep the model from treating kitchen steam like a mountain fog bank. Pick the mode that matches how the photo was shot.
Strength you can actually choose
Standard keeps a natural atmosphere. Strong pushes through dense fog. If the first pass looks too crisp, run again at Standard instead of stacking filters.
Before and after on the page
The comparison slider is part of the workspace, not a screenshot gallery on another domain. Confirm the cleared result before you keep the file.

When Image Dehaze Helps Most
Typical jobs for an online image dehaze tool — landscapes, travel, cities, and interiors with steam or smoke
Dawn valleys and mountain ridges
Morning fog hides tree lines and peaks. Clearing it brings back depth so the frame looks like the hike you remember, not a gray postcard.
Coast, harbor, and marine layer
Sea haze washes out boats, piers, and headlands. A single pass restores water texture and horizon contrast without a trip back at golden hour.
City skyline and street atmosphere
Pollution and humidity mute glass, brick, and signage. Haze removal recovers building edges for editorial, listing, or social crops.
Indoor steam, smoke, and dull rooms
Kitchens, workshops, and concert haze are not the same as weather. Indoor mode is the right setting when the veil is local, not atmospheric.
Tips for a Cleaner Image Dehaze Result
Start with the highest-resolution original you still have. The model cannot invent detail that was never in the file, but it can recover contrast that fog flattened. Avoid screenshots and already-compressed social downloads when a camera original exists.
Match the scene. Outdoor mode is for weather and distance; Indoor is for local smoke or steam. If the sky looks neon after Strong, rerun at Standard. One well-chosen pass beats stacking dehaze, clarity, and saturation sliders until the photo looks plastic.
Use the slider as a quality gate. Check hairlines on trees, window mullions, and horizon color. When the result is good enough, download it. If you still need sharper faces or a wider canvas, continue in photo enhance or expand image instead of forcing this tool to do those jobs.

Image dehaze questions
How does image dehaze work on this page?
- AI dehazing reduces the appearance of atmospheric haze and improves scene contrast. Choose the indoor or outdoor setting that fits the photo, then compare sky color, distant detail and shadows.
How do I remove haze from a photo?
- Processing time varies with the image and queue. Compare contrast, colors and shadow detail before downloading.
Is this a free online image dehaze tool?
- Welcome credits depend on eligibility and signup country (0, 20 or 40). Non-subscribers have a combined limit of one video or image generation per UTC day; this does not guarantee enough credits or access to every model. Check the current quote before generating. The selected model, duration, resolution, number of outputs and reference inputs determine the quote. Subscriptions and credit packs are explained on the pricing page.
Can I run this on a phone?
- Yes. Open this page in a mobile browser, upload from the camera roll, choose options, and download the result. The layout matches the desktop workspace.
Why do photos look hazy in the first place?
- Fog, mist, dust, and pollution scatter light between the lens and the subject. Contrast drops, colors wash out, and distant detail disappears — especially in landscape and travel frames.
Outdoor vs indoor — which should I pick?
- Outdoor is for weather and distance haze. Indoor is for steam, smoke, or dull rooms. A mismatch is the usual reason a result looks over-processed or still muddy.
How long does processing take?
- Processing time varies with the image and queue. Compare contrast, colors and shadow detail before downloading.
What happens to uploaded images?
- Reduce haze, not motion blur. Strong processing can shift color or amplify artifacts. Each generation uses the shown credits; upload retention follows the privacy policy, with no daily deletion promise.
